Pampa Recording Studio Inc. was a recording studio located in the basement of the Pampa Lanes Bowling Alley in Warren, Michigan. Founded in 1971, this Detroit-based studio offered a range of services including mixing, dubbing, editing, mastering, and remote recording capabilities. With its closure in the early 80's, Pampa left behind a legacy of exceptional sound engineering.

The owner and chief engineer at Pampa was *a661410*, while *a3213371* served as the studio manager. Both played pivotal roles in handling mixing duties for various projects. Notably, *m166633* had their music recorded at this iconic studio.

Throughout its existence, Pampa went by different name variations such as Pampa Sound Studios, Pampa Sound Detroit, Pampa Recording Studios Detroit, and Pamper Recording Studio Warren Michigan.

A heaven-made match is now complete with Gerry Read’s debut EP for Pampa Records. The British producer’s distinctively twisted, lo-fi sound, combined with Pampa’s deep-vein instinct for qualityquirks, ushers in a new phase for two of house music’s most celebrated names.

The opening bars of It’ll All Be Over are immediately evocative, hinting at the patchwork style tocome. Twangy banjo strings and a foot-stomp beat seem to herald a folksy arrangement, but that isn’tto be. Soft floaty pads rise up to form an unlikely partnership, softening sharp edges and adding sophisticated melodic expression. Once a compressed vocal sample is introduced, the entire structure reveals itself and begins to spin and loop in the style of iconic French house productions. Propelled further along by the endearing drama of flooded bass drum kicks, falsetto voices andxylophone pings, It’ll All Be Over is immediately memorable and expertly architectured.

Read’s second cut, Satyricon, is woven in the spirit of micro-house. Sharp waveform cuts, timely pauses, loops of noodling keys and hints of percussion shakers combine for a low-slung psychedelic effect. With the sunniness of a vintage folk-pop sample and sultry snatches of Spanish dialogue added atop a deep mid-tempo shuffle, Read secures his place alongside the Bradocks and Leclairs who came before him.

On the flipside, Pampa’s figurehead takes an expert turn at the controls of It’ll All Be Over (DJ Koze remix). The original’s jagged edges are buffed out, and shined up into a gleaming disco houseanthem. With its artfully timed strumming breakdowns and cowbell accents, it is an appetising teaser of the forthcoming summer.
